Could you please tell the exact version of the kernel you use:
"uname -a" on the HN.

HN provider don't want to reboot his node or he isn't able to reboot it to single user mode?

If they are not able to boot to sigle mode they can boot via Live CD then mount root filesystem somewhere, chroot there and use the common utility for example passwd to change root passwd.
